About this study

Official title: Safety and Toxicity of Escalating Doses of Adoptively Infused ex Vivo Selected CD56+CD3- NK Cells on Day 7 Following Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation in Patients With Hematological Malignancies.

The investigators propose a nonrandomized, Phase I study to assess the safety of infusion of NK cells that will be selected from sibling donors and infused to patients with hematological malignancies early following allogeneic stem cell transplantation.

Read the detailed description

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a very effective treatment for a number of hematological malignancies but relapse remains a major problem, especially in patients with high risk disease. Natural killer (NK) cells are immune cells that recognize and kill virally infected cells and tumor cells. NK cells are identified by the expression of the CD56 surface antigen and the lack of CD3. Their ability to kill tumor cells makes them promising to evaluate as effector cells for immunotherapy.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Infusion of donor derived ex-vivo selected NK cells to patients after transplantProcedure or surgery

    Infusion of donor derived ex-vivo selected NK cells to patients after transplant

  • Haematology / Blood chemistry samplingProcedure or surgery

    Haematology / Blood chemistry sampling, collection of blood for ancillary lab research

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Safety and toxicity donor CD56+CD3- NK cells

    To evaluate the safety and toxicity of escalating doses of ex vivo selected donor CD56+CD3- NK cells, adoptively infused on day 7 following sibling allogeneic stem cell transplantation in patients with hematological malignancies. We will specifically look for the proportion of patients who develop infusion related toxicity. Toxicity will be defined as per the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v3.0 (CTCAE).

    Measured: Day 28 post NK cell infusion

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Donor neutrophil and platelet engraftment

    Donor neutrophil engraftment (Neut > 0.5 x10^9/L) and platelet engraftment (Plt > 20 x10^9/L)

    Measured: Day 28 post stem cell infusion

  2. Rates of acute GVHD (grade 2-4)

    Risk of acute GVHD

    Measured: Day 100 post stem cell infusion

  3. Relapse rate

    Relapse

    Measured: 1 year post stem cell infusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Infusion of donor derived ex-vivo selected NK cells to patients after transplant and Haematology / Blood chemistry sampling in people with Haematological Malignancies and Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplant, run by Imperial College London at 1 site in United Kingdom.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Jun 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Safety and toxicity donor CD56+CD3- NK cells (time frame: Day 28 post NK cell infusion). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Jun 2015.
